Windows 10 - OneDrive

Right click on the app and one of the properties has an option to not automatically start it. Uncheck, restart the computer, and it should stop. If you want to go another step further, find the OneDrive app in the start menu, right click on it and uninstall.

If that is still insufficient, there is a batch uninstaller for OneDrive available online. I can copy the code here if you need it.

I assume you have Macrium Installed in your current HD and already made a backup copy.

1. Connect your new HD via USB port and boot up.
2. Run Macrium, click on Restore tab then select the Backup Image that you made to restore
3. click on "select a different target disk" then select your new HD as destination
   
   
   
4. Proceed to restore then Shutdown and disconnect the old HD and replace with the new HD
5. Boot up with your new HD.

 

Cannot Restore OneDrive

Hi again Deborah -

System Restore does not restore files, everything except files.

What Restore are you running from OneDrive. Can you give me it's path. I am not aware of any file restore options for OneDrive except from Recycle Bin.

If you have Office 365 then there are these additional Options in OneDrive for Business:

How to Recover Permanently Deleted Files from OneDrive for Business.

Is this the Recovery you're attempting?

If you're following the steps exactly and it still fails then I would restart the PC. If that fails then Reset OneDrive: https://www.thewindowsclub.com/reset-onedrive-in-windows-10

Keep me posted
